Grayhawk Raptor
$$$$$Tom Fazio gave this one wide, forgiving fairways and crowned greens that have hosted NCAA Championships. A more playable, polished take on Scottsdale desert golf.

Lush Fazio desert parkland
Grayhawk Talon
$$$$$Tighter and more dramatic than the Raptor, threading deep desert canyons. The signature 11th, nicknamed Heaven and Hell, will test your nerve and your short game.
Quintero Golf Club
$$$$$A Rees Jones layout tucked into the mountains northwest of the city, miles from anything. The elevation changes and total seclusion make it feel like a private retreat at public prices.
TPC Scottsdale Stadium
$$$$$This is the course with the famous stadium-enclosed par-3 16th where the Phoenix Open crowds roar. Even on a quiet Tuesday you can stand in that coliseum and feel the echo of 20,000 fans.
